Chinese school is over...

bout time...had a test etc. boring.

I fell like talking about religion today and just to warn you, if your a strong "believer", don't read on.

First of all, in all religions, there is god/s. I find this pathetic and believe it is a sign of how weak humans are. They believe that this "God" will protect them and use it as an excuse for their actions.

It is also ignorant. These people make up all these things about how god made the world and use god to explain the natural events in their life. Instead of trying to figure WHY these things happen, they invent a bunch of non-sense. For thousands of years, people thought thunder was because Zeus was angry, and rain is because some random Deity is crying. Lame...

I'm going to step a little farther and say that religion is one of the major hindrance in our world. It slows our progress and makes us weak. Think of all the great people and empires in history, the rulers, the conquerors. Then think about their downfall.

Aztecs: The Aztecs were probably one of the most powerful civilization in the Americas. How did they fall? Most would say the Spanish conquered them and destroyed them. But why did the Spanish want to destroy them? Gold was a factor, but there was more.

The sacrifices. The Spanish saw this as a "evil religion" and was driven to destroy the Aztecs. Also, the sacrifices were often children from surrounding tribute states and from within the empire. When the Spaniards came, these states who hated the Aztecs but previously couldn't do anything about it rallied with the Spaniards. These natives made up more than 7/8 eighth of Cortez's army. So in reality, the Aztecs fell because of their religion.

Still not convinced? Look at the crusades. The crusaders burned and looted the city, raped the women and kill the men without mercy all in the name of God. There are countless more examples of atrocities down in the name of god which I will not mention so you guys won't be bored to death.

Notice how fast the society is advancing? Why? Ever since the renaissance (or however you spell it) people began to shed the idea of religion and God. Look at the results. Yet some people still cannot accept these ideas. Galileo proved that Earth was round and sun was center of the universe. This went against the Church and his work was hindered. Many people doubted him even when he had all the evidence just because it went against their religion.

Btw, those you who say God cares about you and you love God etc. etc. you're delusional. God was invented by humans to fight off the fears of humans. They invent and embellish a all-powerful figure which protects them so they feel secure.

Even today, wars are fought over religion and people are persecuted because of it. Don't flame me with insults. If you have an argument, I'll crush it. No matter how you look at it religion is...pathetic
